Here There Be Unicorns

CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER. Bottom pic was what I started out with, but felt I needed to darken it up a bit and create more contrast; top pic is the final result where I kind of went further than I meant to and ended up with a completely different vibe. Soft pastel fantasy unicorn or just a regular guy you might see out on the moors with the deer and the ponies?Couldn't decide which I liked better so you get them both!

The European Union already forced Apple to abandon its proprietary charging port and adopt USB-C across its entire iPhone lineup. It just did something bigger. A new EU mandate requires every smartphone sold in Europe including Apple devices to feature a battery that can be replaced by the user without specialist tools, without voiding a warranty, and without sending the device to a manufacturer approved service center. Batteries must maintain a minimum capacity threshold after a set number of charge cycles and replacement parts must remain available for up to ten years after a model goes on sale.

The consumer electronics industry built its current business model around batteries that degrade, cannot be replaced at home, and create a natural upgrade cycle every two to three years. The EU just legislated that model out of existence in the world's largest regulatory market.

Apple, Samsung, and every other manufacturer now faces a choice between redesigning their devices for the European market or accepting that their current hardware architecture is no longer legally sellable there.

Given that no company walks away from European consumers voluntarily the phones are going to change and once they change for Europe the rest of the world will ask why theirs still do not.

You’re getting an actor who can walk into a scene looking like somebody’s exhausted uncle from Glasgow… and thirty seconds later completely hijack your nervous system.

One minute he’s the terrifying Francis Begbie in Trainspotting — pure chaos in human form. Next minute he’s Gaz in The Full Monty making you laugh so hard you forget the movie is secretly about dignity, unemployment, and male vulnerability. Then somehow he pivots again into the heartbreaking, manipulative, magical disaster that is Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold in Once Upon a Time.

That range should honestly be illegal.

And the thing is — he never feels like “an actor acting.” Robert Carlyle feels lived-in. Dangerous. Funny. Human. Like he’s carrying twenty years of history behind his eyes even if he only has three lines.

He grew up in Glasgow, raised mostly by his father after his mother left when he was young, worked as a painter and decorator before getting into acting, and basically clawed his way into becoming one of Scotland’s most respected performers. 

Also? The voice. That rough Scottish cadence could probably sell:

whiskey

revolutions

morally questionable magic deals

or the last sandwich at a gas station

And fans don’t just like him — they get attached to his characters in a “this man ruined my emotional stability” kind of way.

Need charisma? He has it. Need menace? Terrifying. Need heartbreak? He’ll wreck you quietly. Need weird intensity? Nobody does it better.

Even now he keeps landing major roles decades into his career, including joining Line of Duty for its upcoming seventh series. 

Basically: Robert Carlyle is what happens when talent, grit, mischief, emotional damage, and Scottish electricity all get trapped in one man-shaped container.

Well I was gonna take a cute video of all the sheep running to me baaing, and then SOMEONE decided he couldn't wait for me to move the fence.

So then I had to wrestle this fuckass, trying to prevent him from tangling himself worse, while we both got shocked every couple seconds, while also fishing my phone out of my pocket and calling Phantom for help.

THANKS, BUDDY.

Less than a minute after we had the fence off and him untangled, I saw this fucker carefully tap the fence with his nose to test if it was off.

[rederiswrites]

[rederiswrites]

The fence is moved, everyone is in it, there's gravel all throughout the area we're moving through, under the grass, and it makes pushing in the fence posts terrible.

On the flip side, scene idyllic, baby cute.

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

[revizyonist]

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you

[ancelineonline]

I have four kids. I’ve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

I’m not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.

[bowditch]

i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.

every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.

not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.

"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!

I have read numerous 'how to prepare for your surgery' info pages that never once explained this.

The Hindenburg Disaster: End of the Transatlantic Airships

The Hindenburg disaster occurred on 6 May 1937 when the German Zeppelin airship LZ 129 Hindenburg attempted to land at Lakehurst, New Jersey, but burst into flames. The airship’s gas cells were filled with highly flammable hydrogen gas, and the Hindenburg crashed to the ground in just 32 seconds. 35 people on board and one member of the ground crew died in the disaster; there were 62 survivors. Although the cause was never determined, the tragedy and the fact that it had been captured on film, which was shown in cinemas worldwide, ended the use of hydrogen airships to carry paying passengers.

The LZ 129

With the success of the LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin airship, which provided a passenger service between Europe and the Americas from 1928, the Zeppelin company began to design an even bigger airship, the LZ 129. Constructed at Zeppelin’s headquarters in Friedrichshafen, Germany, from 1931 to 1935, the new craft became the property of a new company, the Deutsche Zeppelin Reederei (DZR), which had involvement from both the airline Lufthansa and funding from the German state (which was controlled by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party from 1933). LZ 129 made its maiden flight on 4 March 1936. The new name Hindenburg, in honour of the late president of Germany, Paul von Hindenburg (1847-1934), was soon emblazoned on the side of the hull in large red Gothic script. The Hindenburg’s first Atlantic crossing began on 31 March 1936, flying from Friedrichshafen to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The first flight to New York was made from 6 May and took just 61.5 hours. The Hindenburg would make nine more flights to New York and six more to Rio before the year was out.
